Mr. Speaker, last Tuesday, Montreal launched a promotional campaign under the theme "Montreal, you are my city".
This two-year operation was the fruit of concerted efforts by the City of Montreal, the Government of Canada, 11 private corporations, and the vast majority of local media.
This multimedia operation offers concrete proof that the climate in Montreal is changing and that all stakeholders will now work toward a common goal.
The hon. member for Outremont and Secretary of State for the Federal Office of Regional Development-Quebec was happy to announce, on behalf of the Canadian government, a financial contribution of $1 million.
This is another fine example of this government's commitment to work in partnership with other socioeconomic stakeholders to improve conditions in Montreal and Quebec.
